SATCHEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 246,596, dated September 6, 1881,

Application filed May 7, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. BURNETT, a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Satchels, 850.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawing, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to increase the utility of satchels, traveling-bags, and like articles, and to render them more durable and otherwise more desirable.

It consists in the improved article of manufacture and sale, as will be fully set forth, illustrated, and embodied in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, A represents a satchel-frame, and B a body attached thereto.

In carrying out myinvention I construct over a block the body B of the satchel, the same being done by shrinking, in the usual manner, felted fur, by which means a satchel-body free from seams is produced.

The before-mentioned seamless bodies made from felt are susceptible of having their sur- (No model.)

faces scratched or brushed to impart thereto a 0 nap or fur-like appearance. Having formed the body, I secure the same to the usual satchel or other like frame, A.

I am aware that articles having seamless bodiesas, for example, hats and shoeshave been formed heretofore from felt, and also that seamless bags have been formed by weaving, and therefore I do not wish to be understood as claiming these features, broadly; but

What I claim, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is- I 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a satchel having combined therein the satchelframe A and seamless'body B, composed of felted material secured to said frame, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth and shown.

2. A felted and seamless body united to a satchel-frame, said body being longest upon its base, substantially as andfor the purposes set forth and shown.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of May, 1881.

WILLIAM H. BURNETT.
